Infrastructure Setup & DevOps Management for Audiobook Streaming Platform (Hetzner Dedicated Server)
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Project Overview
We are the team behind BookLover (booklover.gr), an audiobook streaming platform currently entering its production phase.
To support the platform’s infrastructure, we have already provisioned a dedicated server with Hetzner, fully owned and controlled by our company.
We are looking to establish a collaboration with a DevOps / Infrastructure services company that can take responsibility for the initial infrastructure setup, and potentially provide ongoing infrastructure management and monitoring.
Our goal is to ensure that the platform runs on a secure, scalable and professionally managed server environment, capable of supporting large media libraries and streaming workloads.
Infrastructure Details
Server: Dedicated server (Hetzner)
Operating System: Ubuntu Linux
Primary use:
• Hosting the BookLover platform backend
• Storage and delivery of audiobook media files
• Supporting streaming access to audio content
Scope of Work – Initial Infrastructure Setup
The selected company will be responsible for the complete setup and configuration of the production server, including:
Server Configuration
• Ubuntu installation and production configuration
• System hardening and security best practices
• Firewall configuration and SSH protection
Storage & RAID
• RAID setup and disk configuration
• Storage architecture for large audiobook media libraries
• Optimized filesystem and directory structure for high-volume media storage
Web & Infrastructure Layer
• Web server setup (typically Nginx or equivalent)
• Reverse proxy configuration if required
• Preparation for application and API deployment
Database Environment
• Installation and configuration of a database server
(MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL depending on best practices)
Backups
• Automated backup strategy (local + off-site)
• Database backups and media storage protection
• Clear restore procedures
Monitoring
• Monitoring for CPU, disk, memory, network and service health
• Alerting system for downtime or critical events
Cloud Protection
• Integration with Cloudflare for DNS management, SSL and basic DDoS protection
Documentation
• Clear documentation of the infrastructure setup
• Operational notes and access guidelines
Expected Outcome
A stable, secure and well-documented Ubuntu infrastructure, ready to host the BookLover platform and support large-scale audiobook storage and streaming delivery.
Application deployment and platform-specific configuration will be handled by our internal development team.
Potential Long-Term Collaboration
We are also interested in establishing an ongoing relationship with the selected company for:
• Infrastructure monitoring
• Security updates and system maintenance
• Performance optimization
• Technical troubleshooting when required
Ideal Partner
We are interested in working with established DevOps or infrastructure service providers with proven experience in:
• Dedicated server environments
• Linux / Ubuntu infrastructure management
• Storage architecture and backup strategies
• Infrastructure security and monitoring
Experience with media platforms, streaming services, or high-volume content delivery environments will be considered a significant advantage.
Proposal Requirements
Please include:
• A short introduction to your company
• Relevant infrastructure or DevOps projects you have handled
• Estimated cost for the initial setup
• Optional monthly cost for infrastructure management
